PGA WEST Pete Dye Dunes Course

Course was in good condition. Only negative for the day was that the driving range was closed ☹️.

Great place to play if you’re looking to get out on vacation. Staff were friendly and helpful. Conditions were very good, course is challenging but not overly punishing.

kindly staff, awesome condition of course and others(cart, clubhouse, parking lot...) perfect too!

I really want to play again!

Thank you for offer unforgettable memory to me and my wife!

Jack Niklaus wants to play at Pebble Beach for his last game,

But I wanna play here!!

New greens at both Dunes and Mountain seem to be taking a while to properly grow. Result is very bumpy and seriously slow greens. So..fine… you get used to that during a round. The thing that irks me the most is the lack of bunker maintenance. Simple raking and daily prep would go a long way. Bunkers here were like hitting off the parking lot. Not acceptable at all. Every hole was the same. So frustrating.

Disappointed that the driving range and chipping green were closed.

I would recommend this course and facility to others, and I would like to play it again.

Course staff and lsyout are fine.

Course condition did not live up to our exspectations

The driving range is closed until the new grass seed comes in. There are no pictures of the holes as you play them so it can be very tricky. A little disappointing in this class of golf course to not provide GPS on the carts or hole layout information to the players. The bunkers were rock hard. The new greens are a bit slow but the undulations make them challenging.

Tough greens which was fun and the bunkers were in good shape. Fairways were not the best. Played four other courses so far this trip. This course was most expensive and worst shape.

The greens were hard and fast and almost impossible to hold (hence a non-five-star rating). Otherwise, an excellent course with a great layout, beautiful views, and lots of challenge. The course was very well maintained, with beautiful trees, appropriate shrubbery (for the locale), and mountain views from most of the holes. And of course, being a Pete Dye course, the layout was both challenging and appealing at the same time.

Fix your greens, invite me back, and we’ll see if a five-star rating is possible!

So played today and found the fairways to be in better condition than most of the reviews I’ve read. Checking in was great. The lady that I’m reading about was on the phone and was actually quite rude. Thank goodness I got to check in with the gentleman next to her. He was very friendly. The rest of the staff from starter to cart girl and all the gents before and after with club cleaning and getting us started were great. The greens are difficult to say the least. This course used to cost under $100 on a good day. Unfortunately the courses in the Palm Springs area feel the need to house the paying customers to make up for their lost revenues due to Covid. I got a great deal which makes it better but, $150-$200 for this course…… no way. Maybe the courses will give back to their loyal customers one day.

This was the last of eight rounds we played out here in eight days. It was the best known of the courses, which we figured accounted as well for the higher green fee we paid. We were excited about playing here, BUT: the lady in the pro shop was not friendly at all and became pretty snotty when our faces showed our disappointment at the driving range being closed. “The tee time confirmation email told you not to expect the driving range.” I didn’t respond to her, but Ummm, no it didn’t!! The starter was a very nice guy and he told us all about the new greens, that they’re bigger, very undulating and that they wouldn’t hold a shot….. he was correct. The pace was not good at all. Eight guys all together in two foursomes in front of us that held up the entire course the whole round. Marshall came to us on 11 and said he’d asked them to pick up the pace…. They never did and he was never back around to enforce his request. Wouldn’t recommend playing this course for many months to come so that those new greens can settle in. They were hard as rocks. That, coupled with the snotty lady in the pro shop, the high green fee and the poor pace of play made us sorry that we’d added this to our vacation rotation.

Not worth the money. Once upon a time it may have been a well conditioned course, now not well maintained, no sand bunkers , ruts and weeds in waste areas. Restaurant closed before we finished. No notice that there are no warmup or practice facilities, not even a net to warm up in.

Save your money PGA West is all marketing

The bunkers (oh yeah, hazards) were crusty and are in need of conditioning. This is especially true because of deep bunkers next to elevated greens….and most of the greens are quite elevated.
